Re: HOWTO: Install Canon ImageCLASS MF4270 Multifunction driver

One MINOR edit suggested and one issue:

After 7, the printer needs to be connected and power on. I know that the requirements say printer must be connected via USB cable, but most users will have a new machine with a plug in the USB socket and a big card saying "Do not plug USB cable in until software is installed."

The installation worked fine (as does the printer and copy function).

I have an issue with scanning: XSane doesn't recognize that a scanner is connected, even if I have pushed the scan button before I open XSane. The error message is "no devices available" Did I miss something?

With a USB-connected MF4270 and Ubuntu 9.10, I had to make sure that the usblp module was present in order to have the printer detected. This is contrary to everything else that I've found that claims that Cups 1.4 requires that this module _NOT_ be present.

Additionally, the above-mentioned packages from the Canon site fail to install because they depend on libcupsys2 which has been renamed in Ubuntu/Debian. The instructions at the following link were sufficient to get around this issue:
